Conditioning Amnesia Roses

Amnesia Roses, with their strong stems and mystical flowers, are a joy to behold and
will enhance every surrounding. Please follow these care tips to get the most out of your Amnesia
Roses:

Cut the Amnesia Rose stems at a 45 degree angle with a sharp knife. (Don't use scissors, as this
will crush the stems & prevent water intake).

Remove the lower foliage.

Carefully remove the thorns, trying not to scrape or cut through the bark. Investing in a rose stripper
is always a good idea!

Fill clean buckets with hot water & sterilising solution.

When sterilised, tip out the water & replace with tepid water & flower food.

Place the Amnesia Roses in the bucket - submerged in deep water to just below the flower heads.

Leave over night to hydrate - they will be ready to work with in the morning.

Do not leave the Amnesia roses near a radiator, close to fruit, in direct sunlight or in a
draughty place.

Top Tip!

The outer petals of Amnesia Roses are called 'guard petals'. These petals are often darker in
colour and thicker than the other petals. For a lovely fresh look, carefully remove them with your
fingers.
